  b. 73

expanded in A

condensed in  GE (→FE→EE)

The indication smorzando is written in A over the entire bar, as Chopin visibly tried to stretch the word as much as he could. We reproduce that nuance of notation in a conventional manner, breaking the word into syllables. In GE (→FE→EE) it was written as one word at the beginning of the bar.
